As one who is always on the verge of being one of the designers mentioned
below...and who administrates a bunch of content editors who make those
degigners look like rocket scientists...I am darn glad to hear Ami bring
this up......I will ponder on the problem...after I help my 2 year old find
juice....

Understood, but I'd still like to address the problem
of how to work with designers who can't code.  I see
this as a _big_ hurdle to adopting Midgard.  I tell
my client all about separating content from design
and they're happy.  I tell them that their designers
can't use their pointy-clicky web authoring tools and
they give up on the idea.

What's the solution?
